Josh Brolin plays Cable aka Nathan Summers, the fan-demanded character from the X-Men universe who will make his big screen debut here.

It looks like the comedy is well represented too with Karan Soni back as Dopinder, the hapless taxi-driver who seems to always be driving Deadpool around town and Leslie Uggams as Blind Al (who will look to steal all of her scenes once again – check out her great line in the trailer). Julian Dennison comes in straight from his global success on Hunt for the Wilderpeople to have a major role here too.

Directed by David Leitch from a screenplay by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick and characters by Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld, Deadpool 2 arrives in cinemas nationwide on 15th May 2018.

After surviving a near fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) struggles to fulfil his dream of becoming Mayberry’s hottest bartender while also learning to cope with his lost sense of taste.

Searching to regain his spice for life, as well as a flux capacitor, Wade must battle ninjas, the yakuza, and a pack of sexually aggressive canines, as he journeys around the world to discover the importance of family, friendship, and flavour – finding a new taste for adventure and earning the coveted coffee mug title of World’s Best Lover.
